Hello semua! 🍋
Retinol is getting lots of hype & while there are many people loving the effect, there are also many that struggles to pair the ✅ RIGHT ✅ ingredients with retinol.
Kalau korang pair salah & fail to listen to how your skin reacts, retinol can create adverse effect on your skin. Some effects I’ve seen are
❌ dry patches
❌ peeled skin
❌ redness & irritation
So here’s what YOU SHOULD NOT PAIR WITH bila guna retinol (I’m using a serum as an example)
❌ RETINOL WITH VITAMIN C
• ianya kerana dua2 ingredient ini adalah actives, meaning dua are great ingredients to increase collagen production, renew skin cells turnover & brighten skin. This will clash & cause skin acidity level to turn haywire, causing breakouts, redness & even dryness
• solution - guna Vitamin C in the morning & retinol at night. Don’t use both in the same skincare routine. Remember to use SUNSCREEN kalau korang guna Vit C in the morning
❌ RETINOL WITH AHA / BHA / EXFOLIANTS
• seperti vitamin C, both are active ingredients, which will also clash & cause redness bila guna sama2 in the same routine
• AHA BHA are great in removing dead skin cells & increase cell turnover rate while retinol also helps to boost skin’s collagen. Both are too powerful to be put together in the same routine
• solution - use retinol on day 1, day 2 skip both, just focus on moisture & day 3 you can exfoliate. Remember to let skin rest in between, especially kalau sensitive skin
Here’s WHAT YOU CAN MIX with!
✅ RETINOL & NIACINAMIDE
• niacinamide is a friendly skincare ingredient yg sesuai & kawan2 dgn banyak ingredients, including retinol. Niacinamide helps provide moisture & brighten skin (doesn’t mess with cells turnover rate) whole retinol akan bantu with collagen production & cell turnover rate
• how to: use retinol serum first, wait 5 minutes or till its fully absorbed then apply niacinamide cream after
I hope this helps you to figure out your retinol routine. Good luck, my loves! 😙
Till the next post! xx
